    I was excited to try this place when I was searching for middle eastern restaurants near by. The food was really delicious and huge portions! The naan was amazing as was the olive oil dip that came with it. The grilled octopus was DELICIOUS!!!! Highly recommend!!!

    Food is pricey. The owner or manager, a bald guy was super nice, but our waitress seemed like she was having a bad day. Great mediterranean menu offerings. Free pita but it was hard at the ends.

    An absolutely fantastic Middle eastern/Mediterranean meal with a happy and helpful staff! Pictured is the Hummus starter and the Moroccan Chicken

    Great ambiance. Server was off her game and was inattentive, but the food was good.

    Update: Got take out last night for 4 of us. They did a great job packaging all the food. Falafel on the side so it didn't get soggy in the salad. The kafta kebab was delicious. Flavors were so good. The rice was like crack with all the flavors. Vegetables were cooked perfectly. Still a little crunch and color. The Israeli salad was made with beautiful ripe red tomatoes. Didn't love the salad dressing that it came with (on the side) but I used some of the pita dipping oil and that was supurb. ---- Everything is so fresh and delicious. The pita and oil is like crack. Soooo addicting. Great spot for my vegan daughter. So much to choose from.

    I visited the restaurant as a meet up with colleagues. The service was amazing. Even though there were many of us (10+), the food was served hot and fresh and in a timely manner. I had the penne and portobello mushroom pasta dish. It was amazing and I would definitely get it again. I plan to try the salmon next time.

    This place has horrible customer service. They canceled my order after waiting an hour (I was willing to wait) under the prepairing food status only to tell me that they're now closed and that it's not on them. He advised that I should take it up with doordash. I told them that I'd be willing to pick it up as I am 12 minutes away and he rudely told me if I'm not there in 12 he won't be there. No one reached out to me to give me a heads up and they just closed! Then told me I should thank him for allowing exactly 12 minutes to come. Hopefully this place takes accountability for their decision to use doordash and act like people getting their food is a privilege. I'm leaving this review on a previous order because I can't leave it on the cancelled order.

    Ordered three different dishes for take out. They were so bland (how can a Moroccan chicken dish have no flavor?), and one of the chicken breasts was hard as rubber. Very disappointing as we’ve heard great things.
